I'd take a Saab 900 any day. Or the Volvo Bertone, if only just for the looks.
BUT...
We had a Volvo XC90 T6 and in our family that is cited as the worst car we've ever owned. The auto gearbox made by GM was a piece of junk that as part of a Class Action lawsuit. Since I was not the original owner I only got $800 from the settlement. Meanwhile the gearbox I fixed cost me nearly $4k. And it already had one or two prior replacements (I must not have done very good background check)
It ate tires. Gas mileage was not good, although in Europe there was a diesel model that got over 35 mpg. And when we got rid of it the turbos were starting to chatter.
The new Volvos look great but that XC90 really soured me.
